Petition to tighten regulation of banks - put the *ankers behind bars!

[KosmicKat]

The EU is starting to lean on corrupt bankers. I hope you will join me in signing this petition (http://www.avaaz.org/en/bankers_behind_bars_f/) in support of Michel Barnier and lets show them how many and how upset we are!

[Rocky_Shorz]

well the Frank Dodd is already in motion, Banks like JP Morgan had to lay out their plan by July 1st, 2012

Ron Paul's Audit the fed is rolling along right behind it...

on the petition site they should mention what is moving forward, and what more needs to be done...


the Elite's only fear is crime disclosure which is happening now...

[Fred Steeves]

Rocky, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are two of the biggest insider criminals in D.C.

I think it might be more important to support Glass-Steagall ... at least give LaRouche a listen and see if you like his idea.

well I doubt the one you are sponsoring has any clue this article was ever written

he is just being used in a spin to raise people against a ghost that doesn't exist...

after you spend a while following these types of spins, you will understand, and yes if you are upset, you have been brainwashed by the media...

[Rocky_Shorz]

to go back to the glass steagal is like stepping back to black and white TV was an amazing technology....

to make it happen will involve thousands of lawyers fighting to prevent breaking up too big to fail corps...

it will cost America Billions in court costs to fight major corps...

when a public figure says if you lynch your President we promise you the world will get better, it is written by an idiot...

wake up people...

We all want the banksters jailed for their crimes.

That petition is very tempting bait but who is holding the line and WHY are they doing this?

Maybe they are turning on their own in a dog-eat-dog manner, focusing attention on a few so we don't see the many sneaking out the back with all the loot.

Maybe "they" are harvesting names, IP and email addresses of people who are against them so they know who to target first. I know that's very cynical but is it any wonder?

I'm not saying don't sign the petition. I'm saying, be very very careful what you sign and why. How can we be sure that petition will be passed on to the right people or received by them with the passion of our intent?

Do you think the arrogant politicians, who are mostly bought off by the bankers anyway, will pay attention to one person with a big pile of names "harvested" off the internet - or would the politicians be more inclined to listen to a very large, loud and angry mob?

Perhaps we would be better off drowning the EU/EC in our own protests as independent living, thinking beings, rather than signing that petition as if to say, I agree with what he/she said.

So, who are AVAAZ?


Let me educate you...

BACKGROUND

GetUp! is an Australian political organisation that campaigns on issues important to its members. It was launched in August 2005, the week that the Coalition took control of the Australian Senate.

GetUp campaigns are community based, and are primarily coordinated through the Internet. They involve email, its website, and traditional media. GetUp is a non-profit organisation, and states that it relies on donations from individuals, organisations, unions and community groups for funding.[2]

GetUp describes itself as "a new independent political movement to build a progressive Australia".[3] They identify campaigns based on the interests of its members, which are usually issues such as "social justice, economic fairness and environmental sustainability".[4]

HISTORY

Founded by Jeremy Heimans and David Madden, the GetUp.org.au website was launched on 1 August 2005 along with a television advertising campaign. Inspired by the American website MoveOn.org.

Madden grew up in Canberra and served as an Army officer before studying Arts and Law at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. Madden served as president of the University of New South Wales Student Guild after defeating the Labor Left candidate in a landslide.

After winning the University Medal in History, Madden was awarded Fulbright and Frank Knox scholarships to study at Harvard University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in law and completed his master's degree in public policies.

In 2004, Madden was one of the founders of Win Back Respect, a web-based campaign against the foreign policy of United States President George W. Bush. The following year, together with Jeremy Heimans, he co-founded GetUp!, a similar campaign against the recently re-elected Howard government in Australia. Madden and Heimans subsequently co-founded Avaaz.org.

WHAT IS Avaaz.org?

Avaaz.org is an international left-wing civic organization established in January 2007[1] that promotes activism on issues such as climate change, human rights, and religious conflicts.[2] Its stated mission is to "ensure that the views and values of the world's people inform global decision-making." The organization operates in thirteen languages, and claims to have more than eight million members in 193 countries.

The name Avaaz (Persian: آواز)(Devanagari:आवाज ) was derived from the Persian/Hindi/Urdu/Punjabi/Marathi word for 'voice'. Avaaz.org was co-founded by ResPublica, an American community of public sector professionals dedicated to promoting good governance, civic virtue and deliberative democracy, and MoveOn.org, an American non-profit progressive public policy advocacy group and political action committee. The organization was also supported by Service Employees International Union, a founding partner, and GetUp.org.au. Avaaz's individual co-founders include Executive Director Ricken Patel (a Canadian citizen living in New York),[4] Virginia congressman Tom Perriello, Australian progressive entrepreneur David Madden, Jeremy Heimans (co-founders of Purpose.com), Andrea Woodhouse, Tom Pravda, and MoveOn Executive Director Eli Pariser.[5]

ACTIVITIES

Avaaz is managed by a team of campaigners working from Switzerland, Brazil, the United States, Argentina, and the United Kingdom. They communicate with members via email, and employ campaigning tactics including online public petitions, videos, and email-your-leader tools.

Purpose, a for-profit company, states on its web site that "Purpose creates 21st century movements. (Agenda 21) We look for ways that movements can help solve major global problems. To do this, we work with some of the most exciting players in the new green and social economy to help them get to scale faster and some of the world's biggest brands to mobilize their consumers for significant social impact," and goes on to say that its principals co-founded Avaaz.[11]

At the 2007 G8 conference, Avaaz.org protested against the "U.S. administration [for its] 'wrecking tactics' and failure to agree to specific, binding global goals" when it came to the mitigation of global warming.

MoveOn.org is an American non-profit, progressive[1] or liberal[2][3] public policy advocacy group and political action committee, which has raised millions of dollars for candidates it identifies as "moderates" or "progressives" in the United States.

MoveOn.org Financial contributors

According to an article in the Washington Post dated March 10, 2004:

"The Democratic 527 organizations have drawn support from some wealthy liberals determined to defeat Bush. They include financier George Soros who gave $1.46 million to MoveOn.org Voter Fund (in the form of matching funds to recruit additional small donors); Peter B. Lewis, chief executive of the Progressive Corp., who gave $500,000 to MoveOn.org Voter Fund; and Linda Pritzker, of the Hyatt hotel family, and her Sustainable World Corp., who gave $4 million to the joint fundraising committee."

there are about to be controls on Commodities so gallillionaires can't drive the price up to the point kids can't eat just so they look good for investors...

the world doesn't care about corporate investors, the value of a company is in the people, not a stack of stocks...

thanks to the bankers mess, Wall Street lost over 10 Trillion of it's value...

but Wall Street didn't lose...

that money all came from Middle class savings...

the Wall Street Elite didn't lose a penny, their safeguards popped in allowing the middle class to take the hit and keep them protected...

now Wall Street is wondering why no one is stepping back into the market...

banks pay zero interest on savings for customers because they get as much as they want for free...

they have trillions in their accounts they won't risk by using it to grow the economy by giving loans.


gas just jumped up 20 cents/gal because of Greedy traders, it took weeks to slowly drop, one day to spike up...
